Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Back to Job listings...
Offer description
Four-year Ph.D. position starts October 1, 2022, available in the Institute of Physics Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland under SONATA BIS Project No. 2021/42/E/ST4/00096 entitled “Quantum chemistry under spatial confinement” (leader dr Szymon Śmiga). See the website for more details: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/794472
Most of the research carried out within the project will focus on the efficient description of chemical and physical properties under quantum-confined in many-electron systems in the context of the Wave Function Theory (WFT) as well as on the Density Functional Theory (DFT). Within the project, we will develop the theory and tools allowing us to study such systems. We will also focus on the development and validation of existing WFT and DFT methods. The PhD student will have the opportunity to realize part of the project tasks in the groups of our international partners involved in the project.
Benefits
We offer 4500 PLN per month stipend for the whole duration of the PhD. The position is for 48 months. The successful candidate will be part of our highly experienced team. Additional funds are allocated to cover participation in international conferences (1-2 per year) and visits to international partners.
Specific Requirements
+ Training in the field of quantum mechanics and/or quantum chemistry
+ Knowledge about quantum chemical methods at the level of exchange and correlation effects
+ Knowledge about Density Functional Theory and Wave Function Theory methods
+ Very good programming skills (C++, Python will be more than welcome)
+ Experience with molecular quantum chemical codes (PSI4, PySCF will be more than welcome)
Please send your application documents directly to dr Szymon Śmiga ([email protected])
